The
culture group that I am study is the Muslim community in Lincoln. While there
are many concepts that can be used I am looking at the social support systems.
Having a social support system for any group is incredible important but can be
even more so in places where you are clearly a minority. In talking to some of
my friends who are Muslim as well as some who are exchange students have said
that it can be hard sometimes because they know that most people are looking at
them in a different light. Because of this having a social support group that
can be there to relate and help cope with any situation is extremely important.
While I have done some research in
talking with some friends I wish to talk to some of the religious leaders in
the community and get their take on the subject. I have started looking into
who I want to reach out to and am currently waiting to hear back from a couple
people. While I do not have all my questions ready the major theme of my
questions our going what role their social support system plays to the members
of the community.
